KaleidaCare Raising Awareness of Child Welfare Agency Issues on the Hill

February 24, 2009

KaleidaCare CEO, Alistair Deakin, recently returned from visiting with Members of Congress, as part of the Child Welfare League of America’s (“CWLA”) Advocacy Day.  On Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Deakin joined with leaders from agencies from all over the country to visit with Members of Congress, and help brief them on pressing issues facing the community of child welfare providers.  CWLA has launched a campaign for a White House Conference on Children and Youth, to take place in 2010, which was a focus of the visits.  Deakin was also able to speak to senior congressional aides about the issues facing the 80 plus agency customers of KaleidaCare, namely the inadequacy of funding, the relative effectiveness of private agencies for delivering care, and the mismatch of financing to desired outcomes.

“With the new administration, lobbyists are out in force to get their issues in front of their representatives,” said Deakin.  “Child and Family Services agencies need to be at the table, not just pulling at heart strings by highlighting the staggering plight of children in care, but making a solid case for how appropriate investment and use of private agencies can save the taxpayers money in both the long and short term.  KaleidaCare is fortunate to have the perspective from serving a large number of agencies in different states, so we can speak about best practices and the effectiveness of our customers to make a difference and do it cost effectively.”

CWLA is a powerful coalition of hundreds of private and public agencies serving vulnerable children and families since 1920.  Our expertise, leadership and innovation on policies, programs, and practices help improve the lives of millions of children in all 50 states. Its impact is felt worldwide.
